and Apis mellifera were observed on preliminary trials as the main okra anthophilous insects (Njoya et al.

The main objective of this research is to characterise the anthophilous insects (primarily bees), observe foraging on "Clemson spineless" variety of A.

On the 1st of August 2009 and the 17th of August 2010, eighty plants were labelled at random and split into two treatments: the controlled treatment (treatment 1), which included fifty plants tagged at random with open-pollinated flowers that were freely exposed to the foraging activity of anthophilous insects.

Specimens of all anthophilous insect species recorded were captured with the pliers or the suction device and were conserved each in a box containing 70% of ethanol for future taxonomy.

esculentus ovules could be fertilised to assure pod setting without any anthophilous insect visitation.

Experimental investigation is required to clarify whether this difference is due to the difference in size of prey available on flowers and under stones or anthophilous crab spiders are superior toward X.
